Khogshin Teel

Khogshin Teel was a fortress built by Kublai Khan around 1275 in Ovorkhangai Province, Mongolia, near Karakorum.

History
Kublai Khan's Chinese army built and occupied the Khogshin Teel military encampment near Karakorum, and the site was located in present-day Ovorkhangai Province, Mongolia. Karakorum changed hands more than once during Kublai Khan and Ariq Boke's battle for supremacy, and Khogshin Teel's soldiers were likely involved in the war. At the Benjamin Franklin Institute of Philadelphia's exhibition on Genghis Khan in the summer of 2015, a monument to Khogshin Teel built in 1275 was one of the displays.
